Choosing home security shutters for premises in Consett
Fire escape routes matter: shutters on escape windows need an easy manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly. Colours are chosen to match the window frames, with anthracite grey and white the most common choices.
Domestic shutters use slim double-skin aluminium laths filled with foam, which keeps them light and quiet. Shutters protect glazing from storm debris and reduce noise from busy roads.
Specification options
- Blackout and added insulation when closed
- Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
- Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
- Patio and bi-fold door shutters
- Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes
- Colours matched to window frames

Where we work around Consett

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Consett?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair home security shutters in Consett and the DH8 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.
Can shutters be added to an existing window?
Yes. Most domestic shutters are retrofitted with a box on the face of the wall or in the reveal, so the window does not need to be replaced.
Do I need planning permission for shutters on my house?
It depends on the property. Houses in England often have permitted development rights for minor changes, but flats do not, and listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas add restrictions. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We flag it at survey; your council has the final say.
Will shutters stop me escaping in a fire?
They must not. Shutters on bedroom or escape windows are fitted with a manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly, and we discuss escape routes at survey.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
